Answer Notes

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) divides the radio frequency spectrum into standard ranges based on multiples of 10. VHF, which stands for Very High Frequency, is officially defined as the span from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. Understanding where these boundaries lie is crucial for navigating the spectrum. For context, the range just below VHF is High Frequency (HF) at 3 to 30 MHz, and the range just above it is Ultra High Frequency (UHF) at 300 to 3000 MHz. The incorrect options feature the exact same repeating digits (3s and 0s) but represent entirely different bands. Memorizing the 30-to-300 rule for VHF will keep you from accidentally selecting the UHF or LF ranges.
